Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28, 1907.

Application filed August 10, 1906. Serial No- 329.998.

. To all whom it may concern:-

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. WIARD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Lynn, in the county of Essex and State-of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful ImprovementsinDynamo-Electric Machines,

'. of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to dynamo-electric machines With distributed windings, and its object is to arrange such machines so that the connections of the winding may be changed in a sim le and expeditious manner.

It is equently desirable to arrange a machine, such, for instance, as an induction n1o-- tor, for operation on two or more difierent voltages. Thishas been accomplished heretofore by making the primary winding of the motor with two or more circuits, which may be connected in series or in parallel. This, in case of small motors, makes the connections at the ends of the coils bulky. Furthermore, as the leads from the coils are twisted on to these connections, and soldered, it is very diflicult to break these joints and reconnect the winding satisfactorilyj My invention consists in forming the connections, which it may be desired. to change,

' by means of a separate cable connected to the winding and comprising conductors arranged to make the desired connections. In the case of a poly hase induction motor which is to be arrange for operation on difierent voltages, the coils for each phase for each pole may be premanently connected togetherso as to give two terminals per phase per pole, while the connections between poles and phases are made by means of the cable, since these are the only connections which need to be changed for operating the motor on difierent voltages. I preferably arrange the cable at the opposite end of the machine from the connections betweenthe coils of the same phase and pole, since in this manner the terminal connecti ns are rendered more accessible, and the a fplication' and detachment of the cable are facilitated.

- section of an induction motor arranged in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the connection-cable; and Figs. 3 and 4 show diagrammatically the connections formed by two different cables ap lied to the same motor. 7 11 the drawings, A re resents the primary winding of the motor, w -ch is shown mounted on a laminated stator structure of the usual construction. 5

B represents the rotor winding, which is shown as a standard squirrel-cage.

a (1 represent 'the usual connections between the coils of the distributed winding-A, but in the motor of Fig. 1 only a portion of the usual connections are employed, i. e., those which connect to ether the coils of each pole and phase. he connections between oles andphases are made by means of a eagle C, which is connected to the opp0- 7 site end of the primary coils, and which comprises a number of independent conductors bound together withtheir terminals brought out as shown clearly in Fig. 2.

These con-' cured. The terminals of the conductors in the cable may be attached to the coils by means of small copper tubes 0, shown in Fig. 2, which may be pinched at one end, fastening them to the terminals projecting from the cable, and then soldered to both con- The cable may readily 5 ductors and coils. be detached by heating these tubes with aniron and pulling the coilterminals out.

Leads c are brought out from the cable C for connection to the source of current.

In Fig. 3 lhave shown diagrammatically 9 the terminal connections of a detachable cable for a three-phase motor. .The threehases are shown'by a heavy line, a light inc, and a dotted line, respectively. Only one coil per pole per phase is shown in the figure, so thatthe end-connections 0 shown in Fig. 1 are omitted. It will be seen that the conductors are so arranged the cable 0 that the current entering any one of the terminal leads 0 passes through both coils roo ' conductors arranged of one phase in series to a common point Fhe winding is thus connected in Y with both coils of each phase in series with each other. Fig. 4 shows how the same motor may be connected for operation on half voltage by substituting another cable with pro er connections. The conductors of the cab e C in Fig. 4 are so arranged that the current, entering any one of the terminal leads passes in parallel through the two coils of a phase to the common conductor The motor is thus connected in Y, with the coils of each phase in arallel. Obviously the conductors in cab e C can be arran ed to make any other desired changes, as, or instance, changing from Y'to delta, or varying the number of poles of the motor in any well known manner.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the-United States, is,
